When the Kansas City Chiefs selected running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire with the No. 32 overall pick in 2020, it was thought to be a perfect match. As a dual-threat back out of LSU with more than 1,400 rushing yards and 450 receiving yards his final year, Edwards-Helaire could make head coach Andy Reid’s offense “positionless.”
Reid and general manager Brett Veach compared him to Brian Westbrook — and on night one in Kansas City, the hype train began. NFL Network’s (Arrowhead Pride advocate) Peter Schrager suggested to fans they ought to make him their first overall fantasy pick as a rookie.
